Mum Rachel West said this made the weening process "very hard", with the family "frightened" to give Willow regular foods. Ms Buck is a friend of Willow's grandfather, who bought two copies of her previous book for his grandchildren. She said: "I thought, we need to do something, write a book, get the message out there to raise awareness and see if we can just help all these kids."As well as skin issues, Willow's parents noticed she was not eating or sleeping properly, and was crying all the time.Ms West said: "We changed materials she was wearing, we changed the formula, we changed the flooring in the house, the grass outside.
"We want to make more awareness, we want people to understand allergies more, we want people to learn a bit more about what people have to live with."
